Abstract

Ce matelas, destiné notamment à des lits d'hôpitaux, comprend une surface supérieure, laquelle est étanche et présente des passages (51) pour fluides, disposés dans au moins une zone située plus bas que les autres zones du matelas lorsqu'un corps repose sur celui-ci, ces passages (51) conduisant à un poste de recueillement (94) de fluides. Ce matelas a également une autre utilisation en ce qu'il permet que l'on lave un patient placé sur ce matelas, à l'aide d'une douche à main (61), et que l'on remette ensuite le patient sur un lit classique, avec un minimum de dérangement pour le patient.
